BA Pilots Strike

[Elliott]

Hi all.
My 13.15 flight on 8th was cancelled. We could rebook to 11.15 8th sept flight online but didn’t want to risk that being cancelled too, so have cancelled and moved to Norwegian (operated by hi fly) on 8th.

We wanted to keep our BA return but their system would only cancel the whole booking so BA have lost out.

Mixed messages from the Customer service Reps on Twitter. Been reading posts, one woman had her flight cancelled and rebooked by BA, she asked about them covering hotel costs and they tweeted she would have to cover it herself! This is not what it says on the strike page!

A person also asked about her flight being highlighted in red and the BA Person tweeted 'If it's in red, it means it's probably cancelled' What!? How can they give that advise if they don't know for sure.

Like others, I've done dummy booking on my flight, we paid about £1000pp for economy, it's now about £3500pp. Crazy!

I had the same thought about cancelling it all with BA and going with somebody else, not sure if we would lose our deposit though and we cant really afford that

What is the probability November flights would be effected? I hadn’t even considered this

Well just answered and the ***** have transfered me onto BA holidays as the nice 😈😈😈lady said that she was flight only. Another hour wait. She also said my flight on the 11 from MCO was still showing as comfirmed. I said I had an email to say it was canceled. She then said if that was the case I need to speak to holidays. Mad isn't the word 😡😡😡😡 mind you at least I am still on hold😱😱😱

I have had not had the email yet to say flight is cancelled but still in the red. Been getting mixed messages on line this morning. Some said that all flights around the strike have gone to red as there is a risk that they may be canceled. Aslo heard that if they are red it means that they are going to be cancelled. Cant get through to BA to confirm whats correct.

Hi, got back last night from a meal with the family, starting the holiday early! Watching the footy on playback and the wife shouts out that the flight backs been cancelled OMG! No sleep last night, on the phone with the number on the cancellation email from 6am, with no luck. Did anyone else get the email saying they had refunded the whole cost? Tried to re- book through the website and our hotels gone! Anyway tried the sales team and got through after about twenty minutes. They are keeping me on same flight going, but back a day later on the 11th September. They said I’d have to pay the hotel for the extra day and claim it back. This is the number, good luck everyone 03444930124.
